There are not many blogs out there dedicated to cooking on a pellet smoker. I have been cooking, grilling & smoking over 35 yrs now. I recently bought a Traeger Lil Tex Elite pellet smoker & have cooked on it over six yrs. now. I would like to share recipes & info I have gained from cooking on it.
Update 2014: I have plenty of recipes here for the pellet smoker so I am now including other outdoor cooking and some of my indoor cooking too.

BLT's w/Garden Tomatoes

Aug 21 2015

It was not a good year for my tomatoes. I had six plants in
a raised bed garden but way too much rain in early summer. I was finally
getting some tomatoes but they were not ripening very well and most had split
tops. Looked like I was getting my last batch to pick so that told me I better
have BLT’s!

I did up 10 slices of thick sliced bacon from my butcher on
my Traeger. I like doing it on the smoker then I don’t have any clean up to do.
I had some white bread to use; I would call it an old fashioned BLT. That’s how
I remember having them when Mom fixed them. I think she did toast the bread
sometimes. I sliced up a yellow and a red tomato for on top and had some
iceberg lettuce.

We had asparagus for a side; added some olive oil, lemon
juice and seasoning. I did them for 4 minutes in the microwave; tender crisp.

My wife had mayo on hers and I had mayo and mustard. I
toasted the bread lightly. Man those were good, probably my last with fresh
garden tomatoes for this year!

About Me

I started cooking when our children were in highschool & my wife worked.I was layed off during the summer & just kinda took over the kitchen & my wife does most all the cleanup. We are both retired now. I am a recipe hound, love to try new things. I suppose my cooking methods have evolved from Mid West Ohio, Southern, Soul, Cajun, Creole, & German, all of which I love.
